Iíve read that THC is not water-soluble and Iíve read that using a bong reduces the THC levels (compared to a pipe). So, Iím just a bit confused. Amway, I guess my real question is: can you get high from drinking bong water?

Thanks!

Have you tried it?

no you will not get stoned.

but you might puke. that is fun...right?

To answer your other question, THC is somewhat soluable in water (it just isn't that soulable).

I figured it would be discussing but I was still curiousÖ

no, you could try to evaporate it and smoke the residue perhaps.

that water will contain more carcinogenic material than you could imagine. and no it will not get you high.

So does that mean that it won't dissociate (break down) in water or that it won't diffuse?

dissociation: In aqueous solution, the process in which a solid separates into it's ions (or in our case the gas reacting with the water and separating into it's ions).

diffusion: The movement of a substance into a space, or the mixing of one substance with another

BTW, this question is directed to whom ever.
And yeah it'll taste like shit, and it's not worth it!!!!

dont listen to the haters, drink that shit. I drink my bongwater at least every other day and get a real nice high comparable to pot brownies.. Just make sure you have listerine handy.

ok think about it like this if your bong water could get you high then well that means your not making the most out of your pot eh? make sense? you still with me? ok so think about it your smoking your pot and all of your thc is staying in the water?hm well i mean iv always known stoners are stupid but i dont think any are stupid enough to be wasting their pot. what do you think?

There is a very slight condensation of cannabinoids in bongs - not only in the water but on the inside of the bong itself.

But it is very slight - so slight that gagging while trying to down a pint of bong water is most definitely not worth it ;)

here's a little tip, something to do with that bong water..... keep the same bong water in there for a good smoking, till the water has basically an ooze-like structure... you dont even have to wait that long... but after it has done that, pour the 'water' through a coffee filter, and let the contents on the filter dry out a little.... heh, nice to put in the 'scuz-box' or just pack a little in with a bowl if youre not big on the taste of resin.... personally, i could care less, i love it all.... o and btw, drinking the stuff is nasty.... dont stop somebody from doing it though, if theyre that persistent, let them learn the hard way.......... who knows, somebody out there might like it.....

soluable means ability to dissolve. some things dissocciate when dissolved (like NaCl dissociating into Na+ and Cl-). but other things, like sugar, when they dissolve, remain in their component parts.

we say that both are soluable in water, but only one dissociates.

make sence? if not PM me :)

To each to his own. If you like the taste of bong water and don't have any $$ for nuggets, go for it. Sort of like some of my wookie friends who smoke my cigarette butts out of the ashtray.

So if you put alcohol in your bong, would it absorb all the THC and you wouldn't get stoned from smoking just from drinking? If so you could do shots of 151 and THC lol!!

^would make it taste hella bad tho. i'f thats the case just stick the weed in the 151 and let sit for like a week,

Sorry to knitpick, but I'm pretty sure THC is barely soluable in water, (the other way around from what you stated)..

Yeah, I believe the theory is that some of it condenses when passing through the water (presumably due to cooling) - some studies have shown a decrease in thc levels after smoke was bubbled through a bong.

So maybe it's not actually being absorbed into a solution - but it does float around with the water - if that makes sense. I have actually seen gross bongs with old water that had like a layer of foul smelling shite on top of the water - like oil that wouldn't mix.

bongs only really cool the smoke. the filtering action is minimal. THC and other polar molecules when cooled will precipitate out of the gas, so i imagine there would be a bit of oily stuff floating. that is probably all you need to drink to get high but i don't know how good it is for your stomach to have a bunch of tars in it (probably as good as it is for your lungs ;) )

ive only tasted bong water a couple of times and it was always on accident... but i'd never want to actually drink it :puke:

You won't get stoned. And do you really trhink it's that healthy drinking down some warm water that's been sitting in there for a few days and fuck knows what else.. perfect home for lots of nasty bacteria.

Drinking bong water does not count as taking a break from 'smoking' weed, because it sounds like that's what you should do.

u'd be better off filtering resin :)
but i find resin horrid also

THC is not very soluable in water, but it is more soluable than most people think...

ive actually drank bong water, and had a friend who made bong water ice cubes and we put them in rum and cokes, very interesting combination, i usually drink a lot so its hard to tell what hit me most, although i would say its worth the try because if it works for you it was worth it, ecxept for the taste. good luck, and know that if you dont try something you have no idea or information as to whether it was worth it or not. good luck......
